This study reports the analysis of mortuary variability at the Early Bronze cemetery Rebešovice in Moravia (Czech Republic) that uses computer-intensive resampling techniques. The results indicate that the most obvious distinctions in burials are vertical social differences that crosscut age and sex. There are only minor differences in the mortuary treatment of women and men. There is neither a qualitative restriction of body treatment and objects buried with men, nor a quantitative emphasis on burials of men. In fact, burials of women are significantly deeper and equipped with a higher number of bronze artifacts. Funerals of women were at least as significant social events as the funerals of men. These findings do not refute the existence of gender-specific activities and roles that may be valued differently, but instead suggest that both women and men had access to resources from which they could draw power.
